Can an old knee injury ever return?
It is not uncommon for a previous injury to occur. The knee takes a lot of pounding and force when running. If you feel any tightness or pain while training then take a few days off and see if it subsides. If the pain persists, then see a doctor.
If you have knee pain, do you need a replacement?
Without knowing much about the knee pain or your age, I would say that in most cases, knee pain does not require a knee replacement. Often, knee pain can be the result of stress to the knee, mild spraining, or even weak bones. Taking a calcium supplement and avoiding strenuous lifting or other difficult activities for a few days should help the pain. If pain persists after that time, it would be best to see your doctor, but needing a knee replacement is still very unlikely.
